Alia Bhatt’s First Reaction After Seeing The Sets Of Gangubai Kathiawadi Is So Relateable And Priceless

When it comes to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, opulence is the word to swear by. Whether it’s the sprawling Havelis of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, the grandeur of Devdas, the mystic charm of Ram Leela or the magnificent palaces of Padmaavat, SLB’s aesthetics of sets is unparalleled in Bollywood.

While we can only imagine how overwhelming it would be to be on a Sanjay Leela Bhansali set for the first time, Alia Bhatt already experienced it. A source present on the sets of his next film Gangubai Kathiawadi starring Alia Bhatt revealed how the actress reacted to seeing the sets for the first time. The source said, “Alia Bhatt was passing by and was completely awestruck by the magnanimity of the sets. The movie set for Gangubai is not just larger than life but also a lot more grand and beautiful than Sanjay sir’s earlier films like Padmaavat and Ram Leela. There is a lot of fine detailing that has gone into the making of the set and it is bigger than what anyone would have ever since.”

Based on the life of Mumbai’s famed brothel madame Gangubai Kothewali, the film is going to be Alia Bhatt’s first association with the Padmaavat director. The film is currently in the pre-production stage and is slated for a Diwali 2020 release.
